Company

This weekend David's parents came into town. We met them in Provo at an all you can eat Brazilian Grill, Tucano's on Friday night. Yummy food!! It's been a long time since I've over eaten like that and it reminds me why I don't! But food that good is hard to pass up. Then they came to our house Saturday night and came to church with us before heading back to WA. It was great to see them. The kids laid down their sleeping bags next to grandpa and grandma's bed and had a sleep over. That's a favorite with the kids! Cameron cried when they left. A few hours with them just wasn't enough time!I got a clean house out of it! I am a maniac cleaner when company comes. Probably because I don't keep up on it as well the rest of the time?! Oh well, it was worth it! I'm hoping this week to get outside and clean up my flower beds and prune my roses. I'm looking forward to warm weather.

(Our camera is still broken, so no pics of this weekend!)

We have been wanting to go eat there with you guys:) There is a place like that in CO that Colby LOVES!!! We have to eat there every time that we are in town. It is well worth the money and the food is amazing. Glade that you got to see his parents it's always nice to see family. And it's always nice to have a super clean house.

I am glad someone else out there is crazy about cleaning when company comes. I am a complete NUT. But Kris had to learn that if anyone asks if you cleaned you say NOPE! It is always like this...;)

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
